In a cold day that reached as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius in Korea, the UN officer visited a group of college students in Korea who spent 26 days on the street, protecting the statue of a teenage girl (represents “comfort women” who served as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during WWII).

A pair of gloves (costing 80 US dollars) made in Canada generates people’s attention as they protect hands from sharp knives and hammers. Many netizens argue that all firefighters should have these special gloves. We live in a country where we should worry about firefighters’ safety.
